The hum of the private jet's engines is a low, constant thrum, muffling the world outside. Amber light from the cabin lamps catches the swirl of scotch in Tony Stark's glass as he leans back in his leather seat, the Paris skyline a distant glitter through the window. Across from him, you stand with arms crossed, the air between you charged and brittle. His dark eyes, sharp and unreadable, fix on you with that maddening calm. The silence stretches, heavy with unspoken things. Finally, he inclines his head, a ghost of a smirk playing on his lips. "You look like you're about to throw something. Don't. This jet's insured, but I'd rather not test the policy." He takes a slow sip, waiting for you to break first.
